About the Item
Map of Turkish Dominions in Europe, Ottoman Balkan Territories 1814
This antique map titled "Turkish Dominions in Europe" provides a detailed depiction of the Balkan Peninsula and adjacent regions during the height of Ottoman influence in southeastern Europe. Published in 1814 as part of James Thomson’s prestigious "New General Atlas," the map was drawn and engraved by the firm of Neele & Sons, one of London’s leading engravers of the period. Thomson’s atlas is renowned for its clarity, large folio format, and the elegant style in which geographic and political features are rendered.
The map covers a wide expanse including the present-day territories of Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, North Macedonia, Romania, and parts of Turkey and Croatia. Key regions such as Romania (including Wallachia and Moldavia), Rumelia, the Morea (Peloponnese), and Epirus are carefully outlined in different colors to reflect the administrative divisions under Ottoman governance. Cities of strategic and historical importance, including Constantinople, Athens, Belgrade, and Sarajevo, are clearly marked.
Rivers, mountain ranges, and coastlines are finely engraved, providing a comprehensive geographic context to the political boundaries. The cartouche bearing the title is handsomely styled and placed in the lower left corner, contributing to the visual balance of the composition.
This is a hand-colored copperplate engraving, as was standard for high-quality map production in the early 19th century. The subtle palette, with green, red, and yellow borders, enhances legibility while preserving the scholarly tone of the map. Thomson’s atlas remains one of the most desirable British atlases of the era, combining decorative appeal with geographic precision.

Kitchin, Thomas (1718 - 1784)
Thomas Kitchin (August 4, 1718 – June 23, 1784) was a London based engraver, cartographer, and publisher. He was born in London to a hat-dyer of the same name. At 14, Kitchin apprenticed under Emanuel Bowen, under whom he mastered the art of engraving. He married Bowen daughter, Sarah Bowen, and later inherited much of his preceptor's prosperous business. Their son, Thomas Bowen Kitchin, also an engraver joined the family business, which thereafter published in Thomas Kitchin and Son. From 1858 or so Kitchin was the engraver to the Duke of York, and from about 1773 acquired the title, 'Royal Hydrographer to King George III.' He is responsible for numerous maps published in the The Star, Gentleman's Magazine, and London Magazine, as well as partnering with, at various times, with Thomas Jefferys, Emmanuel Bowen, Thomas Hinton, Issac Tayor, Andrew Dury, John Rocque, Louis de la Rochette, and Alexander Hogg, among others. Kitchin passed his business on to his son, Thomas Bowen Kitchin, who continued to republish many of his maps well after his death. Kitchin's apprentices included George Rollos...
